I've run into people having that same problem quite a few times. Having two shots tight and having a few wild ones. Every time I have seen that problem it had to do with the barrel hanging up in the barel channel or a barrel pressure problem. Check your barrel pressure and check to see if you have a tight area on your barrel channel.

If you have a heavier barrel, free float it. If not, you might have to use accu-glass and make yourself a pressure point at the bottom of your barrel channel about an inch to inch and a half back from the end of your fore end. A lighter barrel has a tendency to jump more when shot. It needs to come back down and settle in the same exact spot in your barrel channel each time. If it doesn't, by getting hung up or not having the correct down pressure you'll get the wild ones.

Don't know if that will help you, but it can eliminate another possible cause of the odd shooting. I would think that one or the other is probably your problem.
